Went for Round 2 interview just now in the afternoon. Whilst preparing for this, I rummaged through the intricacies of many old and forgotten memories. Thank goodness I kept a diary/blog which greatly aided the process. Quoted an example on the insane period last Jan-Feb, juggled between daily dance practices ending at 2+3am, twice weekly SEA Games opening ceremony trainings, partial weekend spent running dance errands and amidst this insanity, acing midterms and assignments and keeping that positivity.
Remembered telling myself that the breakthrough meant that there's nothing tougher in life that I can't overcome. Like now, when I feeling so shagged out, I look back, and remind myself that I'm stronger than I think I am and I thank my old self for being such a role model. And I thank him for being my inspiration back then. For if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten that motivation to work so fucking hard just to be on par. For if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had such a great testimonial to quote. For if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be who I am today. Though we don't rlly talk anymore, though he doesn't know it, but yknow I would like him to know that he had made a positive impact on my life and I would like to thank him for that. x

And yet another tenacious period begins. Knew that I had to prepare for interview this sem so I only took 2 cores 2 elective (1 of which is already cleared) but holy still so packed, interview prep can be another core itself alr hahaha
After having been through 2 sems of being extremely shag, found a phrase to be extremely helpful in getting things in check and also my sanity in check: Plan and take things one step at a time and you'll get there. It's all a matter of planning and being disciplined honestly.
And anyway really feeling the phrase "Everything happens for a reason" is true. Yea sometimes it's a matter of how you put the situation into good use and at other times, it seems like luck brought you there. Like how I initially wanted to intern with a fund management firm for winter but didn't get the position. However, I got to intern with a food delivery startup instead. But now I'm really seeing the benefits of the latter.
Now for summer, I'm given priority for Sales function instead of the Marketing I originally applied, in my dream company. And like the tasks and skill set I picked up from my winter intern is so applicable!
And the thing is that I submitted my resume to my dream company before I embarked on the winter intern. So fate and chance really played a part in aligning my career path together man! Omg amazed.

Omg! Went for a networking session just now and asked a lady what's one advice she would give to people who want to work in her industry and she stressed on flexibility, not to be too rigid etc. and I suddenly remembered what the old man said two Decembers back, about being more flexible. Haha sudden flashback moment
HOMAIGAHD wanna sleep like so bad. So bad. Sho bad.... Think I've aged, can't take 2-hour sleep days/nights no more.
